Festive Season Best Wishes
Christmas is a Season
North it comes in Winter
South it comes in Summer
Whenever it falls
To one and all it calls
To glory in the manger Child
In stable so meek, so mild
God's Gift to us for a Reason.
So during this festive season
let us all try to see the world ...
...through the...
Eyes Of A Child ...
Through the eyes of a child
the world is full of wonder
Through the eyes of a child
it’s sunshine, rain or thunder
Through the eyes of a child
life’s just an endless game
Through the eyes of a child
there’s only adults to blame
Through the eyes of a child
it’s school days and fun days
Through the eyes of a child
it’s fascinating always
Through the eyes of a child
it’s beach, buckets and sand
Through the eyes of a child
life’s so easy to understand
now what about us – you and me
where’s our eyes of a child
we live life so fast, never free
to take those eyes of a child
and quantify life to really see
letting imagination run wild
so take a break today, just be
lost in the eyes of a child …
